PEPTIDE ANALOGUES OF GIP FOR TREATMENT OF DIABETES, INSULIN RESISTANCE AND OBESITY

摘要

The present invention provides peptide analogues which are antagonists of gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP). The peptides, based on GIP 1-42 include substitutions and/or modifications which have enhanced resistance to degradation by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV). The invention also provides a process of N terminally modifying GIP and the use of the peptide analogues for treatment of diabetes.
